At the Alabama Hemp & Vape Association, we are committed to protecting the rights of vapers, small businesses, and consumers across the state. Our mission is to shed light on the challenges facing the vaping industry, promote the benefits of vaping as a cessation tool, and unite those who believe in the importance of fair regulation and consumer choice.

The FDA’s excessive regulatory framework has created a significant barrier for innovation and accessibility in the vaping industry. From premarket tobacco application (PMTA) requirements to outright product bans, the federal government’s heavy-handed approach has stifled small businesses and limited access to harm-reduction alternatives for adult smokers. Instead of promoting public health, these regulations often push consumers back toward combustible tobacco—the very product vaping was designed to replace.

Make no mistake: Big Tobacco sees vaping as a threat to their bottom line. Over the years, they have orchestrated attacks at the state level, lobbying for unfair taxes, flavor bans, and restrictive legislation designed to cripple the independent vaping industry. These efforts are not about public health but about protecting their profits. In Alabama, Big Tobacco’s influence is especially concerning. They have poured resources into campaigns that misrepresent vaping, conflating it with youth smoking and ignoring the distinction between adult-focused harm-reduction products and traditional cigarettes. It’s time to stand up against these tactics and fight for the rights of responsible vapers and small businesses.

The fight for the future of vaping starts with you. Whether you’re a small business owner, a consumer, or simply someone who believes in the importance of personal choice and harm reduction, your involvement makes a difference.
